Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire was hoping to have quarterback Brendan Sorsby for the 2026 college football season, but that didn’t happen.
Sorsby admitted to gambling, including placing bets on his own team while he was at Indiana. He placed thousands of bets over four years.
There were several legal battles throughout the year, but in the end, Sorsby and Texas Tech agreed to part ways. He will be eligible for the 2027 NFL Draft.

Despite that, McGuire still isn’t happy that Sorsby has to sit out the 2026 college football season.
“It’s amazing, where, across all levels of football and really athletics, that there are gonna be people playing this year, they’re gonna be suspended for X amount of games, and Brendan Sorsby is gonna have to sit out and wait until 2027 to play at any level,” McGuire said, via Yahoo Sports Daily . “If I would’ve known that, I would’ve said, let’s pivot and do something else because I hate that for him.”
The plan at quarterback
The Red Raiders will enter the 2026 season with Will Hammond as their starting quarterback, after serving as the backup for the previous two seasons. He has compiled 1,151 yards through the air, nine touchdowns, and five interceptions during his time as a Red Raider.
The Red Raiders made the College Football Playoff last season and will try to make it again this year when they open the season against the Abilene Christian Wildcats on Sept. 5.
